Steve Bannon was identified as a key source for Author Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury" on President Trump's first year in office. In it, the President's cognitive abilities came into question but White House doctor Ronny Jackson has just given President Trump a clean bill of health in his annual check-up.
